Beginning Unix (Programmer to Programmer) Review by ComputerGuy
Great book for Beginners to Unix/Linux/Mac OS X
Great book for beginners to the Unix/Linux or Mac OS X operating system. The two appendices with the conversion from Mac (both Mac OS X and Mac OS 9) to Unix and Windows to Unix is helpful for those who are used to working with Windows or Mac and want to transfer their knowledge of those operating systems to the Unix/Linux world. These sections identify the fundamentals of the operating systems and how they are similar to Unix/Linux. There is also information on the different programs that are similar between the systems.
The rest of the book assumes the reader has no knowledge of Unix/Linux and progresses from the basics of the operating system to more in-depth topics as the book continues to later chapters. The inclusion of the Knoppix Linux operating system allows the reader to follow the book while using a complete Unix environment (with no changes to the thier installed operating system).
